Merci.<br /><br />I&#39;m from Montana (no chestnut trees that I know of) but visited a Brigittine monastary (the only one in the world) near Amity, Oregon, a couple of weeks ago, and there were horse chestnuts - non-edible - everywhere. I was told I could have as many as I wanted and so now, after a drying out period, the chestnuts, clove-studded clementines and sprigs of rosemary (another Oregon treasure) surround my advent candles. I love serendipitous moments, and gathering the chestnuts was one such delight.<br /><br />Joyeux Noel.Lindanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-30608422783797738962013-12-04T15:49:22.674-05:002013-12-04T15:49:22.674-05:00A Mont Blanc is a dessert from chestnuts but not a...A Mont Blanc is a dessert from chestnuts but not a candty per sayParisbreakfastshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03558314043814894010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-31304614476640009582013-12-04T15:48:07.165-05:002013-12-04T15:48:07.165-05:00I had those too and I forget what they are called....I had those too and I forget what they are called...not so hot unfortunately...Parisbreakfastshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03558314043814894010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-87465592641548890672013-12-04T15:46:30.528-05:002013-12-04T15:46:30.528-05:00Longer and longer me thinks ;((Longer and longer me thinks ;((Parisbreakfastshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03558314043814894010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-36087391761275252842013-12-04T02:33:13.240-05:002013-12-04T02:33:13.240-05:00Carol, I always love your posts, but I swear they ...Carol, I always love your posts, but I swear they are getting better and better!!!

Je ne vais pas dire qu&#39;on en mettait déjà dans mon biberon mais presque !<br />J&#39;ai vécu à l&#39;orée de l&#39;Ardèche et les marrons sous toutes ses formes, je connais et je les cuisine toujours avec autant de plaisir.<br />Bien évidemment ma grand-mère m&#39;a appris à faire les marrons glacés qui aujourd&#39;hui régalent l&#39;un de mes fils avec bonheur. S&#39;il y a des brisures, je les utilise pour confectionner ma glace à la châtaigne. <br />Je fais ma propre crème de châtaigne que j&#39;emploie par la suite aussi pour faire diverses pâtisseries.<br />Il n&#39;y a que la farine de châtaigne que j&#39;achète pour faire du pain, des crêpes et pâtisseries. Excellente façon de me faire oublier que je suis allergique au gluten !<br />Et les marrons chauds n&#39;est-ce pas une folie douce lorsqu&#39;il fait froid dehors pour se réchauffer ?<br />Essayez aussi de les mettre dans du lait chaud ! hummm!! ma grand-mère m&#39;en préparait lorsque je rentrais de l&#39;école.<br />Dimanche dernier j&#39;en ai fait griller dans la cheminée dans une poêle trouée... et pas plus tard que hier, j&#39;ai confectionné un gâteau à la crème de marron au rhum brun... <br />Je vous invite à la dégustation ! Oh! Permettez-moi que je te tutoie ou tu permets que je te vouvoie ? Je préférerais le &quot;tu&quot; !...<br /><br />Gros bisous et merci pour cette excellente publication.martinealisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04055152925986659065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-63775820316286639782013-12-03T22:46:52.437-05:002013-12-03T22:46:52.437-05:00I don&#39;t think I&#39;ve ever had chestnuts -- r...I don&#39;t think I&#39;ve ever had chestnuts -- roasted or otherwise!

My youngest daughter is so crazy about chestnuts in all forms that she put it on her Christmas list this year. I find marrons glacés too sweet on the teeth but I can tell you I get serious brownie points from my French mother-in-law if I arrive with a good box of them for Noël.

What...Oh Carol, you&#39;ve excelled yourself today! What a brilliant post. So informative and interesting. I was very keen to try marron glace last trip. I bought some from Henri Le Roux, but they weren&#39;t quite marron glade, they stop one step earlier, I can&#39;t remember what they said they were called. Anyway, I was distraught to find that I didn&#39;t really like it. I&#39;m willing to give it a go again next time though, as I&#39;m more than happy to push through it.
